New Delhi: Rain showers keep unbearable heat at bay, but they can also lead to skin problems which make skin itchy. Medicines can make the itching go away, but you can start by wearing the right clothes.
Mumbai-based Abhay Talathi from Skin Space Clinic says fungal infection, insect bite or sting reaction and allergy are the most common causes of itchy skin. He also advises to take medication according to the cause.
“If one has fungal infection, then antifungal medicine (tablet and cream) can be used. Anti-allergy tablets or soothing lotion such as Caladryl can be used in case the cause of itching is allergy,” Talathi told IANS.
